If you're in San Francisco, walk right by the touristier places at Fisherman's Wharf to
Scoma's. No reservations, it's always first come, first served. Get by the hoopla, ask what's fresh and good and mangia... If you're lucky, you may get Lori serving you (Barbara's retired, sorry!) Lunch and dinner daily except for Thanksgiving, Christmas eve and Christmas.
Walk west down Jefferson Street Pier 47 on Al Scoma way (foot of Jones St.)
